FARMINGTON — Greetings and a good day to all of you and I’m hoping you had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to the most joyous and holy celebration that is coming with the birth of our Lord, Jesus Christ For the many Christians in this part of the world, may it give you a renewed interest in your faith, and to those who do not believe as Christians, may you find fulfillment in your own celebration as the year comes to an end and a New Year begins.

Friday evening, Nov. 30 is the night for our Meat Raffle with a new twist as it has been explained to me by our Commander, Gary Mosher. The doors open at 5 p.m., with the raffle starting at 6 p.m. I have been advised that there have been some changes made just to keep the interest in this fund-raiser, so I, like everyone else, will have to attend to see just what has been changed!

Saturday, Dec. 1 is our Ham & Bean Supper with the doors opening at 4 p.m., with ham, beans (two kinds, pea and kidney), potato salad, coleslaw, hot biscuits, dessert and beverages included for the small price of only $7. So come in after a full day of shopping and relax for the hour and enjoy the meal with no dishes to do afterwards.

I know for several of you this means two nights out in a row, but they are different events and they both need and count on your attendance for support, so try to come and we hope you will not be disappointed.

With the holidays coming, Christmas and New Year and with so much to do in the coming month please remember that our meetings start up on Tuesday, Dec. 4, with our American Legion and American Legion Auxiliary meeting at 7 p.m.

Wednesday will be our trip to Tilton, weather permitting, for several games of bingo with the residents and refreshments. So mark your colanders and plan on coming to start the month off right.

Until next time keep our veterans in your prayers and hearts, God bless you all and take care.
